It is time to sell my VW bug project. I will never get to it and I am tired of tripping over it. This is a cool car but quite the project, perfect to finish the way you like it.


I got this Bug the way you see it in the photos and have done nothing to it except a few hours of bodywork. The previous owner was in the process of restoring this bug when he had to put it outside to work on a more pressing project, while outside the snow and ice slid off of his shop roof and onto the car. He lost interest and I got it.  Working at a museum doing restorations full time means I don't have a lot of time for my own toys. I fixed most of the damage on it but didn't finish the drivers door, it may be easier to replace it but I have saved worse. The bug was freshly painted before the snow slide and you could probably get away with touching it up if you like the color. 

I have boxes of new and used parts for this car including a new convertible top with new bows and padding. New glass. New Rubber seals. New wiring harness. New trim. I believe the only thing missing is the back of the back seat though I have never done a full inventory of the parts.

As it sits this car is assembled from several and the title i got with it is not for it so I am selling it with NO TITLE. The body is a 1960 convertible. The Chassis is a 1973 and the motor is from a 1963 Volkswagen Bus. I was told the motor ran when I got it but I never tried to start it. I believe it still turns but it has been sitting for several years since I have tried to spin it over so I am making no guarantees.

This is a no reserve auction, there is over 5000 dollars of parts and paint invested in this car and if you get it for less than it is yours. I need 500 via paypal in the first 48 hours and the rest in cash upon pickup. I will not deliver but I will help with loading, the tires are old and bald but they hold air. I can store the car for a while after purchase but not inside. This bug is located at the Wyman Museum in Craig CO and if you call or email I will be glad to answer any questions or take more photos.

Volkswagen Golf voted 2013 European Car of the Year

Tue, 05 Mar 2013

The seventh-generation Volkswagen Golf just went on sale in Europe, but it is already off to a promising start. Announced as the Geneva Motor Show kicked off, the newest Golf was named European Car of the Year for 2013 in dominating style over cars like the Subaru BRZ/Toyota GT86 twins, Volvo V40, Ford B-Max and Mercedes-Benz A-Class.
According to Automotive News Europe, the MkVII Golf won handily over its rivals with a total of 414 votes. The Subaru BRZ and Toyota GT86 received 202 votes finishing in a distant second, while the Volvo V40 (189 votes), Ford B-Max (148 votes) and Mercedes-Benz A-Class (138 votes) round out the top five. The new Golf marks the third Volkswagen product to receive the prestigious award with previous cars including the MkIII Golf and the most recent iteration of the Polo.

Production Volkswagen Taigun crossover caught in patent filing?

Wed, 01 May 2013

Volkswagen brought an angular, bulldog-like small crossover concept called Taigun to the São Paulo motor show last year, claiming that it wanted to gauge interest in the design before making a decision about production. If a new report with alleged leaked patent images is to be believed, then, interest must have been pretty high.
China's Auto.Sohu.com has published this group of Taigun images, claiming that they have been sourced from the Chinese patent office and that the subcompact VW utility based on the Up! has been cleared for production.
If all of that is true, and if these images are representative of the final product, you'll see that designers haven't done much to alter the concept car's appearance. Comparing, shot for shot, with the images we have from Brazil, we see that even small details like roof rack-mounted lights and exhaust tips integrated in the rear fascia have been carried over. Take a closer look for yourself in the attached galleries.

2013 Volkswagen GTI Driver's Edition brings exclusivity to the granddaddy of hot hatches

Thu, 07 Feb 2013

The Volkswagen booth at this year's Chicago Auto Show was filled with various special edition models of the Beetle and GTI. In addition to the GTI Wolfsburg Edition, the Volkswagen GTI Driver's Edition helps to wrap up the 2013 model year as VW readies the all-new MkVII Golf next year.
Only 3,000 of the GTI Driver's Edition models will be produced in four-door body style only, and the available color palette will be limited to just Candy White, Carbon Steel Gray and Deep Black. The package will come standard with the GTI's Sunroof and Navigation package, and it will add unique features such as the 18-inch "Laguna" wheels, a golf-ball shift knob, partial leather seats and red-stitching on the carpeted floor mats. Buyers of this package will also get a certificate of authenticity and some GTI swag such as a hat, keychain and parking sign.
Starting price for the 2013 Volkswagen GTI Driver's Edition is $29,695 with the six-speed manual and $30,795 if you choose the DSG - both prices exclude destination charges.
